Linux 3.3.8-1-ARCH hangs on Amazon EC2?

Ok, I have been testing an arhc linux setup for a cloud webserver setup on AWS for the last month or so. Until now everything went without a hitch. Today I spin up a new instance to test the updates and I can't get it to come up after rebooting. I'm not very well versed in EC2's quirks and couldn't do much in form of debugging the AMI.

The hits on pacman -Syyu are:

   

Replace libusb with core/libusbx

which apparently doesn't affect the behavior

and the following packages are marked for update:

              apache-2.2.22-4  bison-2.5.1-1  dovecot-2.1.7-4  fakeroot-1.18.4-1
              filesystem-2012.6-2  glibc-2.15-11  icu-49.1.2-1
              initscripts-2012.06.1-1  krb5-1.10.2-1  libmysqlclient-5.5.25-1
              linux-3.3.8-1  linux-api-headers-3.3.8-1  mkinitcpio-0.9.2-1
              mysql-5.5.25-1  mysql-clients-5.5.25-1  pinentry-0.8.1-4
              psmisc-22.17-1  rsync-3.0.9-3  sqlite-3.7.13-1  systemd-tools-185-1

I am aware of the filesystem issue so the actual update command is as advised:

     

pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem && pacman -S filesystem --force

EDIT: I have done the Linux update separately and it is pretty clear that something crashes the vm in either linux-3.3.8-1  or linux-api-headers-3.3.8-1

Any news on that is welcome.
